From PwC: The materials will be released after the kick-off event on October 20th. Students will have 1 week to come up with their solution and present to a panel of judges on October 27th. We provide all of the details about the case during the kick-off event, so we ask that at least 1 team member attends this event. We also have a PwC Purdue Recruiting app that students can download which includes all of the dates and times for the kick-off, presentation and awards.
